    <body><![CDATA[I can't say I'm normally a big fan of this type of book, which includes a vanished heiress, a much-visited wishing well, and an ancient, mystical people who are still practicing the old Celtic religion during the Elizabethan age, but Kate's just the kind of intelligent heroine I most enjoy reading a...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/5449279">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Genre: Young Adult Fantasy<br/><br/>A lovely Tam Lin-ish type tale set in England at the very end of Queen Mary's reign (the heroine is a lady in waiting to the disgraced Princess Elizabeth at the begining of the novel). The period flavor is nice, and not distracting, and manages the very dificult...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/22138995">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[What can I say? I'm extremely jealous of Pope's writing style. Her prose is beautiful and fluid, taking you from one moment to the next without any of that awkward stumbling between scenes that a lot of books have. This is a woman who is very comfortable with her skill and it shows.<br/><br/>Somet...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/57342629">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book pretty much epitomizes everything that is to love about good, old-fashioned YA literature: a tight story, engaging characters, a perfect blend of history and fantasy, a little bit of (squeaky-clean) romance, and just enough gloomy suspense to keep you on your toes.<br/><br/>Oh, and did I...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/26521042">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book was a tad bit young for me, and not as well written as some books I have read, but the plot line was extremely exciting. It is a fantasy story and set a while back when the ladies wore petticoats and all that jazz. This girl must go to this dude's castle and stay there. Then she gets invol...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/22774719">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Quite good. Selfish and strange fairy folk who remind me a bit of George MacDonald's kind of fairies [but larger]. Dark secrets, creepy bad guy, old castle. Strong, stubborn, likeable heroine and a brooding but dishy love interest.

    <body><![CDATA[This book has been recommended many times by people I trust quite highly (the betsy-tacy list), but it didn't quite do it for me.  I finished it because I was curious, but the whole fairyland and the fairies being mean and. . . It just wasn't for me.  But I did like the main character, which is also...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/18412019">more...</a>]]></body>
